Oh yah, I had my Nanyang Scholarship interview this morning. Woosh, I swear that it had been very confusing for me to reach the venue. Luckily, I had Serene Tan, who I actually met in the bus towards NTU, and, of course, Huixin to assist me to walk from nowhere to somewhere. Certainly, it has sounded kinda crazy. Even the officer from Office of Admissions and Financial Aid can sense that I really had taken quite a hard time to walk towards the venue.
Anyway, over there, I saw two polytechnic schoolmates, where one is my classmate for some modules and another is from Aerospace Engineering, coming after me for the interview. And we had chatted for quite a while before calling upon for the interview. Oh, I also realised that I am not awarded with any Medal, apart from Diploma with Merit. Well, it is rather disappointing for me. But, I also know that I don't deserve it as my polytechnic CCA record is not up to attain any award. So, I am not so disappointed anymore. Oh, as for the interview itself, it was conducted by a panel of three where one is the officer from the Office of Admissions and Financial Aid and another two are from the College of Engineering. Okay, at least, the interview had started off well as somebody from the panel thought that I was quite prepared for their questions. Then, the difficult question popped out from the same person. Having to realise my polytechnic results, she questioned my choice between the university and National University of Singapore (NUS). Well, I don't think that I gave the panel a definite answer as I believe both universities have their own strong points, which will allow me to be more ready for the future. Also, to be frank, I am actually still looking at the opportunity costs of giving up one university for another. It is just difficult. My brain really hurts. Okay, I shan't stop thinking about it first. Let both universities consider about whether they should award me with a scholarship or not. I guess it'll be wise for me to make any move after them. That's because some major issues might be affected when I am to make any choice.

Oh man, I have found my new temporary job assignment. And it's a 3 months job assignment with a private professional institute, which is situated at Stirling Road. Though this job position requires me to work for 5 and a half days, I'm not complaining as long as I can knock off on time for every working day. Too picky on my part? In long term, such situation suits best to my planned intentions. I am satisfied as long as I have money rolling to my bank account before I am to start my undergraduate life. Oh yeah, money needs to keep rolling to my account.
Anyway, after accepting the job assignment, I kinda have a problem now. I have my Nanyang Scholarship interview on the coming Thursday morning. Geez, I don't know if I should go or not. I mean, I never expected myself to be shortlisted for this scholarship. However, many told me that the scholarship interview is very important and I should politely request to my supervisor for a day of leave. And I kinda agreed to this opinion. Scholarship is not everyone's thing. Only the outstanding will be shortlisted and even awarded with such honour. In other words, it is one of the greatest academic honours one could get. Hmm...it seems like to go for the scholarship interview is logically the right choice. I can be smiling now... Okay, I should get going to do my stuffs. Time is never enough to deal with one's own affairs. And I believe many people neglect this fact, taking free time for granted. Do you think the same way too? If not, just take some time to think about it.

Oops. Crap. I think I wasted Dr Tan's effort to be my referee. I don't think I have presented myself well during the interview with the panel of four. Damn, the panel of four are all titled Professor. And they might be my professors in some future circumstances, especially the one from Faculty of Engineering. Oh...I feel so screwed now.
But the best part of it is when I asked the panel if they have any questions or opinions for me. The one seated second from the left mentioned that he was amazed and happy to understand my 'never say give up' spirit. Wow...when I heard that, I really got shaken and almost shredded tears. Oh, how embarrassing. However, I never seemed to code my spirit as some 'never say give up' spirit. Okay, I admit that it does seem to be kinda like that. Haha...and that's how a Professor thought. How can I be so rude to oppose him? Anyway, the interview had happened. Regardless of the outcome, I am pleased to have the opportunity to be part of such thing. Haha...it might be one of the most honourable moments of my lifetime. I don't think I can forget it. Actually, no one can.

Wow, that's fast. Today, I actually received Nanyang Technological University (NTU)'s mail, which indicated the approval of the University Admission Selection Committee for my admission in the coming new academic year. Woo...I'm really unsure what I should say now. Well, I just feel good as I now have offers of admission to both NTU and National University of Singapore (NUS). Wonder if I am to choose NUS or NTU during the acceptance period? Actually, I already kinda have an answer to that doubt. Many things have been considered. Many people have been asked. And that's almost enough to sway my mind to get settled for one choice. Haha...when the time is right, I will confirm it here with you.
![]() Anyway, I am currently taking a mini break from temporary job assignments. And I am glad to be able to look into plenty of personal matters within the past few days. Some things really have been left and not taken care for too long. Goodness, what have I been doing in the past? Hopefully, I am granted with sufficent time and efforts to do what I gonna do. I can't be a naughty girl again. Okay, at least I should try not to be one again. Hmm...I feel like eating something now. Should I have some Bailey's Irish Cream? Or simply having some self-styled noodles? Okay, I know either way is bad for my health. I should logically stop thinking of it. Stop.
